# C++ keyword: `struct`

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | keyword

### Usage

- declaration of a compound type

declaration of a scoped enumeration type | (since C++11)

- If a function or a variable exists in scope with the name identical to the name of a non-union class type, `struct` can be prepended to the name for disambiguation, resulting in an elaborated type specifier.

### Example

Run this code

    struct Foo; // forward declaration of a struct

    struct Bar  // definition of a struct
    {
        Bar(int i) : i(i + i) {}

        int i;
    };

    enum struct Pub // scoped enum, since C++11
    {
        b, d, p, q,
    };

    int main()
    {
        Bar Bar(1);
        struct Bar Bar2(2); // elaborated type
    }
